amaroK tries to be a little different, providing a simple drag and drop interface that really makes playlist handling easy.
Features include: - rapid playlist creation, with drag and drop from a directory view - nice playlist browser for your existing playlists (PLS or M3U formats) - collection-indexing support, for smart browsing and playlist creation - possibility of accessing media via kioslaves, allowing you to play via smb:// or fish:// (normal streams are of course supported) - inline ID3 tag editing, capable of retrieving tags via MusicBrainz - album cover support: automatically displays album covers from the filesystem, or downloaded on the fly - miscellaneous audio effects, including crossfading - easy bindable global shortcuts, rich DCOP interface - On-Screen Display (OSD), on track change or at keypress
amaroK can output to different sound systems: aRts, GStreamer and XINE support is included in the amarok-{arts,gstreamer,xine} packages, respectively. By default, all of them will be installed (amarok-engines package).
Support for XMMS and libvisual visualization plugins is also compiled in (you need to have xmms or libvisual0.2-plugins installed to be able to use it).

Thanks to all users who give feedback. THIS IS PURELY EXPERIMENTAL SOFTWARE.
We know that by far not all debian packages are klik-able yet. But we believe they should be ;-)
